Descanso Camellia
June 12th, 2007
“Descanso Camellia” – Approx 15 x 11″ – watercolor on paper
SOLD
This is probably the largest floral piece I’ve done so far – and I enjoyed the process very much. Essentially it’s no different from working small except I have to stand back more frequently and use larger brushes to avoid getting too many picky details.
Busy, busy. I don’t have time to write much right now – I’m up to my ears in framing and gathering materials for a new class I’ll be attending tomorrow. Plus, our son is graduating from UCLA on Saturday and we’re co-hosting a grad party for him and some of his roommates.
OK, back to work for me …
Oh lord, that’s stunning, just luminous!
I thought it was a photo! Wow!
Karen, WOW! Amazing! I love the pinks! Just wonderful! I was headed to Descanso today but found the tea house was closed and opted for Pasadena instead… Congrats on your son’s graduation. Holly
I could pick her up and put on a jar at my studio! so lovely!
Wow! That is just outstanding.
Another one to make us all go, “Oooooo!” Just lovely, Karen!
Enjoy the weekend festivities! “Woo!” to Michael.
It’s beautiful! I imagine the size must make it tempting to add details but this is so lovely and light.
I would like to do watercolors this big! I am only just getting into the habit of painting with watercolor everyday. This is a lovely painting.
This is just beautiful – the way you’ve captured the light is stunning! I think working big agrees with you.
Oh my, that’s just glorious! Those colors are so beautiful.
this is just lovely….
Karen, while your work is always absolutely beautiful, this camillia is so softly luminous that I simply had to stop and say, “Thank-you” for the deep breath of appreciation it sparked in my soul.
Very lovely!
Oh my, you had a lot of fun with your big brushes! Beautiful!
Gorgeous Karen – you should do more this size!
I saw your work on Flickr and love it! This is one of my favorites. They are all gorgeous!
lovely lighting – you can feel the sun shining!
really beautiful!
This one is a beauty Karen. Your lights and shadows are perfect.
Tell your son congrats also for the graduation.
